Guo Song was worried that Zhu Zhu's army was attacking for no reason, during this time Zhu Zhu had been in Jianghuai, and the Jiangnan army had only more than 20,000 people, almost all of them were relatively weak local troops, and their equipment, training, and experience were weak in all aspects, and they were basically unable to compete with the regular army. Will he let this opportunity go?

At this time, Zhu Jun was standing on the bow of a big ship on the Yangtze River, looking at Jiangning County on the south bank of the Yangtze River from afar.

The big ship was a 3,000-stone cargo ship, the source was not Wu Shaocheng's army, but owned by a big shipping businessman, and was forcibly requisitioned by Zhu Zhu, and at the same time, there were also 10 1,000-stone cargo ships and 20 500-stone cargo ships.

With these cargo ships, he could send tens of thousands of troops to the south of the Yangtze River at one time, and if he made a few more trips, 20,000 or 30,000 people could be put on the south bank of the Yangtze River overnight.

"How many troops does Jiangning have now?"

Liu Sigu replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the two Zhejiang provinces and seven states have formed an alliance, and each state has elected Han Rong as the commander of the alliance to command more than 20,000 troops, and more than 20,000 troops are currently deployed on the line of Runzhou and Changzhou. ”

Zhu Jun nodded, "Han Yun is good, he has this qualification." ”

"Your Majesty, Han Rong has served as an observer of the two Zhejiang provinces for a long time, his second son Han Gao is currently the Yuezhou Thorn History, Changzhou Thorn Li Changsi and Suzhou Changshi Xiao Jian are still his protégés, he himself is the Runzhou Thorn History, he once served as the Xiangguo, his prestige is very high, this time as the leader of the alliance, it is already a bit of a feudal town."

Zhu Jun smiled, "Yes! It would be interesting if Han Rong also became a feudal town. ”

"Now that he is self-reliant militarily, then self-reliant in personnel and financially, that is the feudal town, but unfortunately His Majesty will not give him a chance."

"That's right, such a big piece of fat is placed in front of my eyes, I can't sleep if I don't swallow it!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Jun asked again: "There are 20,000 troops in Runzhou, what about Xuanzhou?" Is it also one of the seven states that are aligned? ”

Liu Sigu shook his head, "Xuanzhou belongs to Jiangnan West Road, and it is the territory of Liu Qia, the envoy of Jiangnan West Road, but Liu Qia's main force is in Yuzhang County, Hongzhou, and it is estimated that there are not many troops on Xuanzhou's side." ”

"What do you mean by estimating no, I want accurate information!" Zhu Jun was very dissatisfied.

"Humble duty, send spies across the river."

Zhu Jun snorted and said: "Take advantage of the time to investigate the enemy's situation, you quickly send someone to Runzhou to negotiate with Han Yun, and ask them to take the initiative to surrender, I, Zhu Jun, salute first and then soldier, if he doesn't know the current affairs, don't blame my army for being brutal." ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen suggested sending Chen Feng as an envoy?"

Chen Feng was the original Tang Dynasty Salt and Iron Prison Young Eunuch, surrendered to Zhu Zhu, and also brought Zhu Zhu a million salt tax, which was quite a credit, and Zhu Zhu also valued this person.

"Why did you send him?" Zhu Jun asked puzzled.

"Your Majesty doesn't know that Chen Feng was originally Han Rong's old subordinate, and he had a very close relationship, so it was most suitable for him to persuade Han Rong."

"I see, then send him to Runzhou."

An imperceptible hint of pride flashed in Liu Sigu's eyes, this Chen Feng thought that he had made outstanding contributions and didn't put himself in his eyes, did he really think that he couldn't clean him up?

...........

A month ago, Runzhou, Changzhou, Suzhou, Huzhou, Hangzhou, Yuezhou, Mingzhou, and the seven states gathered in Jiangning County, and the seven states formed an alliance between the two Zhejiang, and elected Han Rong as the head of the alliance.

Han Yun got more than 50 large ships from Mingzhou, recruited 10,000 sailors, and handed them over to Luo Ziyu, the commander of the navy, together with the previous Runzhou navy, who was responsible for training and commanding.

In the past month, Han Yun has been busy training soldiers, although the number of 20,000 troops is a lot, but the equipment is too poor, the training is insufficient, and the experience is weak, and he will not be the opponent of Zhu Jun's army at all, and the equipment and experience cannot be made up for a while, so he can only train first.

In the colonel field outside Jiangning County, 10,000 soldiers were in full swing training queues and spear formations under the command of General Bai Liangqi, while another 10,000 troops were training in Dantu County and Jinling County, Changzhou, with 5,000 men each under the command of General Wang Qiyao and Li Changrong.

At this time, Sima Liu Jingqiu, a subordinate of Han Rong, entered the school field with a convoy composed of hundreds of carts, and the soldiers suspended their training and came forward to carry the goods.

Han Rong also walked forward quickly, and the cart was full of weapons and armor, which was collected from the people, which could make up for the lack of equipment to a certain extent.

There are four main things in the armor, at most it is a horizontal knife, at least fifteen thousand, followed by a spear, together with the spearhead, the number is almost tens of thousands, and then there are bows and arrows, most of them are city defense bows, there are also five or six thousand pairs, and then there is armor, the armor is varied, there are still armor in the two Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties eras, but most of them are leather armor, and Mingguang armor has not been seen.

In addition, there are crossbows, shields, daggers, axes, etc., and there are thousands of miscellaneous goods in this part.

"The harvest is not bad!" Han Rong said with a smile.

Sima Liu Jingqiu saluted and said: "This is a weapon sent by Su Changrun Sanzhou, it is said that the people are very enthusiastic, as long as a small amount of money will donate the weapons, these weapons are really useful to us." ”

"And what about the states to the south?"

"They are still recruiting, it is estimated that it is almost over, and it is said that the effect is also very good, and Guangyue Prefecture has raised 12,000 standard spears."

Han Yun was taken aback, "Why are there so many?" ”

"I have checked the local chronicle records, it should be related to the rebellion of the Shanyue people during the Tianbao period, the imperial court sent troops to suppress it, and transported a batch of weapons, and then the Shanyue people surrendered without a fight, this batch of weapons was left in Yuezhou, and it was used to train the township Yong during the Anshi Rebellion, but in the end it was not recovered, and these weapons were scattered among the people, and the spears and knives were matched with one, so there were 12,000 spears, and the knives would not be less."

General Bai Liangqi said with a smile: "Envoy, the brothers are just short of swords, so it is better to give them to us now!" ”

Han Yun nodded, and said to Sima Liu Jingqiu: "Sima will sort it out first, distribute five thousand intact war knives to them, and distribute other weapons together after the arrival of the southern weapons." ”

Bai Liangqi was overjoyed, "I'll send someone to help tidy it up now!" ”

At this time, an official galloped over on horseback, rushed to the front and hugged his fists and said: "Qiqi envoy, Zhu Jun has sent a messenger here, waiting for the envoy in the county office." ”

Han Yun frowned, what did Zhu Jun mean, he asked, "Who is the messenger?" ”

"It's Chen Feng, the salt and iron supervisor."

"It turned out to be him!"

Han Rong had a trace of disgust in his heart, Zhu Zhu's army seized Yangzhou, and the salt and iron supervisor ordered Bao Ji to flee back to Chengdu by boat, this transfer made Chen Feng obviously able to escape, but he did not escape, but surrendered to Zhu Zhu with a fleet full of millions of taxes, so that the imperial court lost millions of taxes, although he was named Zhu Zhu's school inspector and salt and iron transfer envoy, and also got the title of the Duke of Chu, but this kind of traitor is really hateful.

Han Rong came to the Jiangning Alliance Office, and his assassination official office was in Dantu, but because the Seven States Alliance was established in Jiangning County, he was temporarily in Jiangning County during this time, and the reason why the alliance headquarters was placed in Jiangning County was because everyone had the idea of restoring Jiangning Mansion.

Moreover, the city wall of Jiangning County is tall and wide, very strong and sturdy, and the population in the city is large, with a population of 200,000, which is very suitable for defense.

At this time, Chen Feng was waiting for Han Rong in the lobby, he was really a little uneasy in his heart, he betrayed the Tang Dynasty, I don't know if the old minister Han Rong would kill him, although Liu Sigu repeatedly comforted him, the two countries competed with each other, and he didn't kill him, but he knew that it meant to dedicate a million salt taxes to Zhu Jun?

At this time, Han Rong's tall and thin figure appeared on the steps of the lobby, Chen Feng hurriedly stood up, when Han Rong served as the observation envoy of the Liangzhejiang Road, Chen Feng was the transfer envoy of the Liangzhejiang Road under Han Rong, and he followed Han Rong for many years, and won the respect of Han Rong.

Han Yun walked up to the lobby, and Chen Feng hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "Old Xiangguo, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Han Yun snorted, "Who are you?" ”

Chen Feng lamented in his heart, Lao Xiangguo really didn't recognize himself, he had to whisper: "Xiaguan Chen Feng, it's.... It is the salt and iron transshipment envoy of the Great Qin State. ”

"Humph! Great Qin Kingdom, what are you doing here? ”

Chen Feng hurriedly took out a letter from his arms and presented it, "This is a letter written by the Son of Heaven of the Great Qin Kingdom to the old Xiangguo, please take a look at the old Xiangguo." ”

Han Yun took the letter and didn't read it, tore it to pieces, threw it in the face of the panicked Chen Feng, and scolded: "You innocent traitor, you still have the face to come to see me, come to someone, drag me down and slaughter!" ”

The warriors on both sides rushed up, grabbed Chen Feng and dragged him out, Chen Feng was so frightened that he shouted: "Old Xiangguo, the dispute between the two countries, if you don't kill me, you can't kill me!" ”

Han Yun said coldly: "If the other party is a country, Zhu Jun is a traitor who rebels and rebels in my opinion, what qualifications does he have to be called a lonely widow?" Drag it down, kill! ”

"Old Xiangguo, spare your life!"

"Spare your life!"

Chen Feng desperately howled and begged for mercy, Han Yun's heart was as hard as iron, and after a while, the crying suddenly disappeared, and the soldier came up with a plate, on which was Chen Feng's bloody head, and his face was full of horror.

Han Yun let out a sigh of sullen breath in his chest, and he immediately ordered: "Throw his body into the Yangtze River to feed the fish, hang his head at the city gate to show the public, tell the people that this is the fate of the traitor, in addition, let his entourage cross the river, and let them bring a message to Zhu Zhu, the old man is ready, and he will accompany him at any time if he wants to fight!" ”
